....and that seems to have already started.

Oscars are VERY often given to not the best product. Being nominated is enough of an honor.

I mean, if "Amadeus" can win for its tacky ugly sophomoric costumes over costumes from like "The Bostonians" or "Passage to India".... who cares who wins? (that's when I stopped watching or caring)
